MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Axon ends in axon terminals. Axon terminals are closely placed near the dendrites of another neuron or more neurons but are not connected. Cyton is the cell body of the neuron. The axons of the neurons are surrounded myelin sheath that shows gaps throughout the length that are called nodes of Ranvier.

Detailed explanation-2: -axon terminus Terminal inflated portion of the axon, containing the specialized apparatus necessary to release neurotransmitters. The axon terminus is considered to be the whole region of thickening and the terminal button is a specialized region of it.

Detailed explanation-3: -aka synaptic boutons, axon terminals are small swellings that are found at the terminal ends of axons. They are typically the sites where synapses with other neurons are found, and neurotransmitters are stored there to communicate with other neurons via these synapses.
